Straight From the Horse's Mouth: Siri Bows to the Antipopes
Canon 1325, 1917 Code: "The faithful are bound to profess their faith publicly, whenever silence, subterfuge or their manner of acting would otherwise entail an implicit denial of faith, a contempt of religion, an insult to God, or scandal to their neighbor."
Cum ex Apostolatus Officio: 6. "If ever at any time it becomes clear that any…Cardinal, or likewise any Roman Pontiff before their promotion or elevation…has strayed from the faith or fallen into heresy…his promotion or elevation shall be null, valid and void."
It is clear from what is presented below that Joseph Siri publicly accepted John 23 and all the other antipopes as true popes, thereby committing public heresy and incurring deposition from his office as cardinal, (Can. 188/4). Therefore he was never "pope" himself, nor could he even have been considered papabile. Remember that one instance of heresy is enough to incur deposition and ipso facto excommunication.
Holy Ideals and Celestial Presence
Card. Joseph Siri, Rome 1965
"The great mission assigned by Providence to John XXIII of holy memory was that of bringing back among men a more comprehensive, brotherly and trustful opening in their relationships with each other…He, the Pope, always spoke of faith, hope, humility, obedience…He put up with honors, but only in as far as they were tributed to Christ's Vicar…"
In God's Name
By David Yallop
It is a matter of record that Siri presided over the nine-day funeral observances or "Novemdiales" for antipopes Roncalli, Montini and Luciani. Yallop notes in his work: "During the series of nine memorial masses [for Paul 6]...homilies were delivered by, among others, Cardinal Siri. The man who had blocked and obstructed Pope Paul at every turn pledged himself to the aims of the late pontiff."
The Catholic Counter-Reformation in the 20th Century
No. 304, December 1997
"If one were to identify in the early '60s one event – and one only!! – that marked the approach of the spiritual chastisement predicted in the third Secret, it would clearly have to be the opening speech of Vatican II, which assigned the Council as its programme the Reform of the Church herself, rather than the correction of the errors and faults of her members. The reaction of the renowned Cardinal Siri – or, to be more exact, the absence of his reaction on this occasion – clearly illustrates the failure of the hierarchy predicted in the third Secret. On the following day in fact he wrote in his private diary, "I did not understand very much in the Pope's speech. In the little I did understand I found an excellent opportunity of making a great act of mental obedience… This evening I carefully analyzed the Pope's speech so that I might align [sic] my way of thinking with that of the Vicar of Christ."
The Church, the Council and the Unconscious:
How Hidden Forces Shaped the Catholic Church
(by James Arraj)
"Cardinal Giuseppe Siri wrote in his diary of the need to study the 'historical propaedeutics' of the errors that are resurfacing. He suggests not only looking at what Benigni had to say about them, but adding reflections on the pathology that affects theological studies when various methodologies derived from idealism, historicism, rationalism are introduced. For modernism is creeping in and is supported by historical criticism.'"
And when, pray tell did Siri stand up and denounce this "modernism"?!
Twelve Council Fathers
By Walter Abbot, S.J. (1963)
"It may take 50 years before the full achievements of the Council are discerned. But certain fruits are evident already, and they are important. First, the Church sees more clearly now the work that is cut out for it for the next 100 years. And, as the Holy Father himself has indicated, the approach is a pastoral one….It was a wisee and provident thing that we began the work of the Council with the liturgy. It struck a very positive note. It went to the heart of things."
